online communities are so strange because people slip away so easily. you can be on here for years, folding people you've never met into the fabric of your daily life, and then they disappear, leaving only ghost posts scattered across tumblr behind. or their blog stays dormant, for weeks, months, years, until you're only still following them because you remember that they love sunflowers or they were kind to you when they didn't have to be or the last thing they posted was sad and raw and you still worry about them sometimes.
and sometimes they come back when you least expect it, years later, even, and there's this sudden rush of relief like there you are, there you are, even though you barely knew each other.
there's a strange kind of love to it. i don't know you and i want to hold your hand across miles and time zones and oceans. i can still see the imprint of you in this community you left. you don't anyone will notice or care when you're gone, but we notice and we care and we wish you well.
i hope you're all okay out there. i hope the sun is shining on your face and you are breathing deeply. i miss you.
has anyone else noticed that being alive is like. not the most dignified experience ever
So I don’t usually post my ball jointed dolls before I customize them, but I had to make an exception today. My Muriel from @bug-memory just arrived!! I am so glad to have gotten one, she is just the most adorable thing and I love her so much. I’ll post more photos (and a video) as soon as I finish painting her!
“Grief, I’ve learned, is really just love. It’s all the love you want to give, but cannot. All that unspent love gathers up in the corners of your eyes, the lump in your throat, and in that hollow part of your chest. Grief is just love with no place to go.”
― Jamie Anderson
Being obsessed with your own ocs is so so good for you i seriously can't recommend it enough
Was just thinking about this earlier today…lol 🙃
one thing that took me embarrassingly long to learn is "sometimes when people say things, they will not be true."
I used to tell people about this revelation and they'd be like yeah.....duh.....but like, why wouldn't my base assumption be that you're communicating to me in a straightforward manner. anyway, I get scammed a lot.
COMPANIONS
aaaaaah looking at them all together is so satisfying!! and i’m so proud of actually finishing this🥰
I have made some more examples of the stretch goal colors! They are called Grapefruit, Mulberry, and Lime.
These will be available for any of the dolls (both kit and assembled).
My Muriel ball-jointed doll Kickstarter runs till October 5th! You can support the project here. This is the only time I'm planning to sell these online.
I'm really grateful for all the support so far and am looking forward to making a little Muriel army and dispersing them throughout the world.
❤️❤️❤️
